Hi @reef-full members !
Team Conflict Management is currently organising the Full Members dinner/meetings until a new Full Member coordinator is selected. Unsurprisingly, with the recent intensity of the reattribution decisions, there is a lot to talk about and process. There may be things that are better addressed in plenary meetings, or in private meetings (mediated or otherwise), but these FM meetings are a wonderful resource for coming together and making a space devoted to our group dynamic and collective well-being.
On practical note, there are currently two polls to reschedule the plenaries of the 15th and 25th, with possible dates stretching from the 13th to the 29th. So I’m going to set a poll for this coming weekend and the following Monday. This is obviously extremely short notice, but if enough people feel the need to come together sooner rather than later, this will be the opportunity to do so. If not, then once the plenary dates are settled for the rest of the month, we can launch a new poll.
So here we go:
- Saturday 11–15h
- Saturday 19–23h
- Sunday 11–15h
- Sunday 19–23h
- Monday 19–23h
- I can’t make any of those times
In terms of the venue and meal arrangement, to be decided if it goes ahead.
In terms of the agenda, it can be co-created on the day. However, if there is something specific you would like to address, please feel free to reach out to Team Conflict Management. If there is something specific you would like to address, but you prefer to do it later for whatever reason, rest assured that the intention is to regularly make spaces to do so over the next few months…

Thank you Chris!
I think it is indeed better to postpone this FM dinner, until more of us are available. We’ll launch a new poll when the dates of the next plenary meetings are set.

Ok @reef-full members… let’s try and get the next FM meal/meeting/connection happening !
I’m going to set a poll, and I strongly encourage everyone to be as generous as possible with their responses. There are lots of other things going on at the moment, some of which are also in the poll phase. But these FM meetings to maintain our group dynamic, especially during turbulent times, are essential for our collective wellbeing. For a more comprehensive take on why this is, see Lee’s recent post on the topic: Reinstating the Full Member dinners / deep connection moments and starting an evaluation of how we want to reshape them: a request
Here’s the poll:
- Sunday 24 May – brunch/meeting (11h to 13h)
- Sunday 24 May – dinner/meeting (19h to 23h)
- Monday 25 May – dinner/meeting (19h to 23h)
- Wednesday 27 May – dinner/meeting (19h to 23h)
- Saturday 29 May – brunch/meeting (11h to 13h)
- Saturday 29 May – dinner/meeting (19h to 23h)
- Sunday 30 May – brunch/meeting (11h to 13h)
- Sunday 30 May – dinner/meeting (19h to 23h)
- Tuesday 2 June – dinner/meeting (19h to 23h)
- Wednesday 3 June – dinner/meeting (19h to 23h)
- Wednesday 4 June – dinner/meeting (19h to 23h)
- Sorry, none of these dates work for me
Once we have a date fixed for getting these events happening again, Team Conflict Management will propose fixed dates every 6 weeks after that for the rest of the year, so that we can more easily plan ahead, rather than polling every time…
